The Virginia Department of Health awarded a contract to NMS Labs on August 11, 2026, with a cumulative value of $2,516.00. The contract encompasses forensic laboratory testing services delivered to Jennifer Starkey. The services include postmortem toxicology analysis with expanded screening and vitreous alcohol confirmation on blood samples (2 units at $384 per unit), an antiepileptic drug screen panel encompassing nine pharmaceutical compounds including gabapentin, carbamazepine, levetiracetam, and others (5 units at $292 per unit), and electrolytes and glucose panel analysis on vitreous fluid samples (3 units at $96 per unit).

NMS Labs, the prime contractor, is providing specialized forensic laboratory diagnostic services that support postmortem investigations and toxicological determinations.

The specific line items indicate a limited-duration engagement focused on discrete forensic testing requirements rather than an ongoing annual service arrangement.
